Cash Back Credits The Program is based on Cash Back Credits. Cash Back Credits earned through the Program have no cash value, and you have no property rights nor other legal interest in the Cash Back Credits for any purpose until such time as a Cash Back Reward is credited back to you. You don t earn interest on the Cash Back Credits nor on a Cash Back Reward. 7. Earning Cash Back Credits on Net Purchases Cash Back Credits are earned during the operation of the Program, as follows. For the purpose of calculating the Cash Back Credits, Grocery Store Purchase and Net Purchase amounts are rounded (up or down) to the nearest cent. (a) For RBC Visa Cash Back Accounts: i.

The Personal Applicant acknowledges that even though a merchant may sell groceries, purchases made at such merchant may not necessarily qualify for Grocery Store Purchases if the merchant is not classified with the MCC #5411. Also, merchants that are not classified with the MCC #5411 may be located on the premises of merchants that are classified with the MCC #5411, and purchases made at these locations may not qualify for Grocery Store Purchases. On all other Net Purchases: (A) Cash Back Credits are earned at the rate of 0.5% (for every $ in Net Purchases (other than Grocery Store Purchases) charged to an Account, the Personal Applicant earns back $0.50), on the maximum amount of $6, in Net Purchases (other than Grocery Store Purchases) and for a maximum Cash Back Reward of $120.00, per Annual Period; and (B) Cash Back Credits are earned at the rate of 1% (for every $ in Net Purchases (other than Grocery Store Purchases) charged to an Account, the Personal Applicant earns back $1.00) for every Net Purchases (other than Grocery Store Purchases) charged to an Account in excess of the maximum amount of $6, in Net Purchases described in (A) above, unlimited.

Promotional Cash Back Credit offers We may, but are not obligated to, offer special promotions or additional opportunities from time to time for Cardholders to earn Cash Back Credits at a higher rate than those specified in these Terms. We may even decide that some promotions will allow Cardholders to earn Cash Back Credits in excess of the maximum Cash Back Reward amounts specified in section 7 above. 9. Posting the Cash Back Credits A Cash Back Credit earned during an Account Statement period appears on the Account Statement listing the Net Purchase for which the Cash Back Credit was earned. If a Net Purchase is made prior to the Statement Date but is not processed by the merchant, the payment card network (Visa or Mastercard) or Royal Bank by the Statement Date, it will not appear on that Account Statement. As a result, the posting of some Net Purchases and the accumulation of Cash Back Credits for those Net Purchases may be delayed to the next Account Statement. 10. Returns or adjustments Credits for returns or adjustments reflected on an Account Statement during the operation of the Program reduce or cancel the Cash Back Credits earned on the Net Purchases originally charged. The New Cash Back Balance is deducted based on the appropriate earn rate for your Account type at the time of the return or adjustment, even though the return or adjustment may relate to a Net Purchase that earned a Cash Back Credit at a different rate. 11. Crediting the Cash Back Reward: The Cash Back Reward is credited as follows. (a) Automatic Crediting i. For RBC Visa Cash Back Accounts: ii. The Cash Back Reward, representing the New Cash Back Balance, is automatically credited to your Account at the end of each Annual Period ( Automatic Crediting ) and appears on your January Account Statement, provided your Account is in Good Standing at the time the Cash Back Reward is credited to your Account. Only one (1) Cash Back Reward is credited per Account, per Annual Period, regardless of the number of Cards issued on the Account. For Mastercard Accounts: The Cash Back Reward, representing the New Cash Back Balance, is automatically credited to your Account at the end of each Annual Period and appears on your January Account Statement, provided your Account is in Good Standing and the New Cash Back Balance is $25.00 or greater on the Annual Calculation Date. RBC Royal Bank Cash Back Program Page 4 of (10/2018)

5 iii. iv. The New Cash Back Balance is automatically carried over to the next Annual Period if the New Cash Back Balance on the Annual Calculation Date is less than $ For Commercial Accounts: The Cash Back Reward, representing the New Cash Back Balance, is automatically credited to: (i) your Commercial Account at the end of each Annual Period, and appears on your January Account Statement, or: (ii) to a Banking Deposit Account, through an electronic fund transfer, within three (3) business days from the end of each Annual Period, provided your Commercial Account is in Good Standing and the New Cash Back Balance is $25.00 or greater on the Annual Calculation Date. The New Cash Back Balance is automatically carried over to the next Annual Period if the New Cash Back Balance on the Annual Calculation Date is less than $ If you have opted for corporate billing as the billing type for the Commercial Account, the Cash Back Reward can either be credited to your Account, or to a Banking Deposit Account through an electronic fund transfer, at your choice. If you have opted for individual billing as the billing type, the Cash Back Reward can only be credited to your Business Deposit Account, through an electronic fund transfer. For all Accounts: The day after the Annual Calculation Date, the New Cash Back Balance resets to zero, unless the New Cash Back Balance on the Annual Calculation Date is less than $25.00 and automatically carries over to the next Annual Period. When the Cash Back Reward is credited to your Account, it does not count towards the minimum monthly payment and you are still responsible for making the minimum monthly payment for that Account Statement period. If your Account is not in Good Standing on the Annual Calculation Date, the New Cash Back Balance is cancelled and purged. (b) Credit Requests i. For Mastercard Accounts and Commercial Accounts: As soon as the New Cash Back Balance reaches $25.00 or more, you can request your Cash Back Reward, representing the New Cash Back Balance, to be credited right away, without having to wait until the end of the Annual Period ( Credit Request ). If you opt for a Credit Request, the Cash Back Reward will be credited within five (5) business days from the Credit Request made by calling the number indicated in the How to contact Royal Bank section of these Terms, provided your Account is in Good Standing at the time of the Credit Request. However, if a Credit Request is made one (1) business day or less prior to the Statement Date, the Cash Back Reward amount may appear on the Cash Back Summary portion of your Account Statement for that month, but may not actually have been credited to your Account or Banking Deposit Account, as the case may be, by the Statement Date. In that case, the Cash Back Reward amount will be displayed as "Cash Back Credit" in the transactions section of your next Account Statement. The New Cash Back Balance will reset to zero at the time of your request, as a Credit Request can only be for the entire New Cash Back Balance. There is no maximum number of Credit Requests that can be made during an Annual Period. 12. Account Statement verification: A section on each Account Statement shows the previous Cash Back Credit balance from the last Account Statement, the amount of Cash Back Credits earned, adjusted or credited during the Account Statement period, bonus Cash Back Credits earned during the Account Statement period, if applicable, as well as the New Cash Back Balance (all of the above referred to as the "Cash Back Summary").
